At what age is it unacceptable for a kid to wear diapers

3 in the daytime.

Mine was 3+ when day trained, but I tend to agree with this. Much more than 3 and they should be out of diapers during the day.

I don't think it's ridiculous at all to expect that.

I tried pull ups with my oldest, he treated them like a diaper. They were okay if we had to be out running errands or something but at home? Underwear.

The second didn't have pull ups at all.

The daycares and dayhomes we used expected kids out of diapers/pull ups well before 4. Pre-K (3) wouldn't take them unless they were out of diapers and pull ups.

Three. Gross. All of mine potty trained just before two.

Pullups are just diapers without tabs. They hinder children's potty training.

I just don't understand why you people care? My kids were trained by 3, but if I'm not changing your kid's poopy diaper, I couldn't care less about when your kid is potty trained.

I was a preschool director for 10 years.

Children had to be potty-trained to move into the 3s room, where they moved between 3-3 years 11 mos.

24 kids x 10 years = a sample size of 240.

Every single child (except for two) were able to be potty trained by the end of the 3rd year, and the vast majority were trained around 2.5. The two who didn't were not neurotypical (one boy had ASD, the other, DS).

So I'd say, just based upon that experience, 4 is too old for a (daytime) diaper in a neurotypical child. 3 is pushing it.

Pull ups are BS. They are diapers.

Agree. We have five children. Some were easier to potty train than others, but none were in diapers at three. That's just ridiculous.

Right?! 2 at the most.
